GUI script functions but nothing shows up

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I was making a script just now that basically increases the blur size locally and shows a imagelabel along with a close textbutton. Looking at the properties window, the script does seem to work but I don’t see anything.

local script inside ReplicatedFirst

local remoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteName")
local MainFrame = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.ImageLabel
local Blur = game.Lighting.Blur
local Button = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.TextButton

remoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	for i = 0,24,1 do
		Blur.Size = i 
		wait(0.05)
	end
	Button.Visible = true
	MainFrame.Visible = true
	MainFrame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5, -157 ,0.387, -157),"Out","Quint",1,true)
end)

Local script inside textbutton

local MainFrame = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.ImageLabel
local Blur = game.Lighting.Blur
local Button = script.Parent

Button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

	for i = 24,0,1 do
		Blur.Size = i 
		wait(0.05)
	end
Button.Visible = false
	MainFrame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.5, -157 ,3, -157),"Out","Quint",1,true)
	wait(5)
	MainFrame.Visible = true


end)

You have to reference the LocalPlayers’s PlayerGui, not the StarterGUI.

What’s the exact reference line?

It should work but it doesn’t and it outputs this message

Use a WaitForChild. Some UIs won’t load immediately so you have to do that.
